Module 4


Слайд 2Issues...
Why are we interested in research?
What is research?
Key concepts and issues
Introduction

to validity

Слайд 3
Why must we understand research?
help make informed decisions
need to produce

research in career
evaluating research in the media
assist in classes


Слайд 4
Why is research a valued source of knowledge?
Common ways of

knowing…
personal experience/intuition
experts/traditions/authority
scientific method


Слайд 5
What is Science, the Scientific Method, and Research?
Science…
a body of established

knowledge
the observation, identification, investigation, and theoretical explanation of natural phenomenon

usually the ultimate goal is theory generation and verification


Слайд 6
What is Science, the Scientific Method, and Research?
Theory…
a set of inter-related

constructs and propositions that specify relations among variables to explain and predict phenomena
should be simple, consistent with observed relationships, tentative and verifiable


Слайд 7
What is Science, the Scientific Method, and Research?
Scientific Method…
involves the principles

and processes regarded as characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation
process or approach to generating valid and trustworthy knowledge


Слайд 8
What is Science, the Scientific Method, and Research?
Research…
the application of the

scientific method
a systematic process of collecting and logically analyzing information (data)
Research Methods (Methodology)…
the ways one collects and analyzes data
methods developed for acquiring trustworthy knowledge via reliable and valid procedures



Слайд 9
Characteristics of Research
objective
precise
verifiable
parsimonious
empirical
logical
probabilistic


Слайд 10
Types of Research
Trochim’s Classifications…
descriptive
e.g., percentage of regular exercisers
relational
e.g., link

between age and exercise
causal
e.g., effect of behavior change intervention on exercise participation

Слайд 11
Types of Research
Other Common Classifications…
basic vs. applied vs. evaluation
experimental vs. non-experimental
analytical

vs. descriptive vs. experimental vs. qualitative

Слайд 12
Key Concepts and Issues
time in research
variables
types of relationships
hypotheses
types of data
fallacies
structure or

research
deduction and induction
ethics
validity


Слайд 13
Time in Research
cross-sectional vs. longitudinal


Слайд 14
Variables
variable…
any observation that can take on different values
attribute…
a specific value on

a variable

Слайд 21
Types of Variables
independent variable (IV)…
what you (or nature) manipulates in some

way
dependent variable (DV)…
what you presume to be influenced by the IV

Слайд 22
Examples

exercise participation


Слайд 23The purpose of the study was to…
test whether the “Fair Play

for Sport” curriculum is effective in promoting moral development in youth
examine the relationship between age and VO2max.
test whether there are gender differences the value placed on sport participation
determine whether students’ perceptions of the amount of positive, negative, and informational feedback provided by their teachers is predictive of their self-esteem and level of achievement

IV, DV?


Слайд 24
Types of Relationships
correlational vs. causal relationships


correlation does not imply causation!
(it’s necessary

but not sufficient)

variables perform in a synchronized manner

one variable causes the other variable


Слайд 25
Types of Relationships
patterns of relationships…
no relationship
positive relationship
negative relationship
curvilinear relationship

Слайд 27
Hypotheses
hypothesis…
a specific statement of prediction
types of hypotheses
alternative vs. null
one-tailed vs. two-tailed


Слайд 28
Hypotheses
alternative hypothesis (HA)…
An effect (that you predict)
null hypothesis (HO) …
Null effect


Слайд 29
Hypotheses
hypothesis
there is a relationship between age and exercise participation
HA
there is a

relationship

HO

there is not a relationship

this is a two-tailed hypothesis as no direction is predicted


Слайд 30
Hypotheses
hypothesis
an incentive program will increase exercise participation
HA
participation will increase
HO
participation will not

increase or will decrease

this is a one-tailed hypothesis as a specific direction is predicted


Слайд 31
Types of Data
quantitative vs. qualitative



Слайд 32
Research Fallacies
fallacy…
an error in reasoning (logic or premise)
types of fallacies described

by Trochim
ecological
exception


Слайд 33
Structure of Research

begin with broad questions
narrow down, focus in
operationalize
OBSERVE
analyze data
reach conclusions
generalize

back to questions

The "hourglass" notion of research


Слайд 34
Deduction and Induction


Слайд 35
Ethics in Research
balance between protecting participants vs. quest for knowledge
IRB provides

one mechanism
informed consent/assent
confidentiality and anonymity
justification of procedures
right to services

Слайд 36
Practice Questions
Is the study descriptive, relational, or causal?
Is the study cross-sectional

or longitudinal?
What is (are) the IV (IVs)?
What is (are) the DV (DVs)?
What are the alternative and null hypotheses?

Слайд 37
Practice Questions
A. The purpose of the study was to examine the

link between age and physical fitness levels in terms of muscular strength and endurance. It was hypothesized that older and younger adults would demonstrate significantly different fitness levels.

Слайд 38
Practice Questions
B. The purpose of the study was to determine whether

track athletes trained to use mental imagery performed superior to athletes who did not receive the mental imagery training. We expected those athletes receiving the training would perform significantly better than the untrained athletes.

Слайд 39
Practice Questions
C. The study examined the effects of an acute bout

of resistance training on participants’ mood and cognitive functioning at 1, 6 and 12 hours post exercise. It was expected that the positive effects on mood and cognitive function would decline over time.

Слайд 40
Practice Questions
D. Participants at the 2009 Chicago Marathon were polled to

determine their satisfaction with the course. The race officials hoped for positive reactions on the part of the runners.

Слайд 41
Practice Questions
E. A researcher was interested in the role of caffeine

in sports performance. In cooperation with her University’s baseball team, she randomly assigned players to one of two conditions: (1) no caffeine or (2) low dose (100mg). She then used performance on a batting machine as a test. She speculated that caffeine would positively affect performance.

Слайд 42
Introduction to Validity
validity…
the best available approximation to the truth of a

given proposition, inference, or conclusion


Слайд 43
Introduction to Validity
types of validity…
conclusion
internal
construct
external

types of validity are cumulative


Слайд 44
Introduction to Validity
for each type of validity there are typical threats,

and ways to reduce them
this provides our framework for critiquing the overall validity (= worth) of studies
